Re: [Flashcoders] Scrollpane in the arse
I have tried using both content (which is read-only) and contentPath (which seems to target a enternal source, or a movieclip in the library with a linkage set). The problem is I am dynamically creating the clips first on the stage, then placing them in the scrollpane, so it does not contain a linkage in the library.

Therefore, you're better of just showing a loading progress bar,
(ProgressBar.indeterminate = true):
- show the progress bar
- 1 frame later, load your XML
- when the XML arrives, update your progress bar to done
- 2 seconds later, kill the progress bar
People can argue that for LoadVars XML calls to files larger than 200k,
it's work it, but to me, people who think Flash can parse such loads without

are doing (parsing data across frames to prevent Flash locking up) and thus
already know how to create progress bars.
The common use case is not them, however, most are in the less than 100k
range.

Re: [Flashcoders] preload loadvar xml return
Perfect, thanks for all your help. Ill see what I can do to cut the
size out. If there is whitespace in the xml being sent back, could that
affect the parse time?
JesterXL wrote:
The lock up is the xml.parseXML running. The parseXML function is the bane
of all Flash developers, and although many enlightened individuals have
posted about various ways of handling it in Flash, the most trusted way is
to go straight for the source; the XML it's parsing. If that's not a
possibility, modifying the XML structure, then sure, you can parse manually
across frames, but I'd rather roll down a hill of razor blades landing in a
salt-pit.
Therefore, you can use the common XML parsing techniques to expediate the
XML parsing:
- use Flash 7 or above for XML parsing; Flash Player 6 was the big
optimizer, and 7 improved on it yet again. 8 you just get side-help in that
code overall is optimized.
- use attributes in your XML vs. nodes.
// bad
node
childvalue1/child
childvalue2/child
node
// good
node att1=value1 att2=value2 /
- make sure if you are utilizing the data, you make references to childNodes
and other keyboards like attributes, etc. Those getter/setter properties
actually re-parse the XML internally each time your re-access them.
There are others, but those are best ones.
Again, the reason I mentioned to wait 1 frame is to ensure the stage updates
to actually show the preload bar before the XML/LoadVars parseing locks up
your display. In a lock, at least a progress bar is showing.
As far as lessenign the LoadVars load, well, you can parse it yoursel in
onData using the string methods, but you'll still probably run into
bottlenecks.
Attack the problem at it's source; either get the server to give you smaller
chunks of info, easier to parse, or use Remoting where possible.

Re: [Flashcoders] Xpath and HTML tags inside XML bug?
Yes this is how I have been fixing the problem. Seems like a pain to have to use both methods, rather than just using the xpath. Morten Barklund Shockwaved wrote: Merrill, Jason wrote: [...] Problem overview: using Xpath, HTML tags inside of XML does not render, even with CDATA tags applied.

The string from XPath returns, interestingly enough, looks like this: Welcome to the lt;a href=apos;http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/apos;gt;Center for Devices of Radiological Healthlt;/agt;. More text... Not sure why Xpath is changing the string from /a. to lt;/agt;, but Flash doesn't like it obviously. Anyone come across this before and have a solution? If you used the regular XML and XMLNode-classes in Flash, you'd come to the same problem if you tried to insert the node directly - and didn't use the nodeValue-property of the XMLNode-object. If your XPath implementation returns XMLNode-object, just use the my_xmlnode.nodeValue-property and insert this in the textfield. If the XPath implementation returns a string and this string is the toString-value of the XMLNode (which the above is) and *not* the nodeValue-property, then the writer of the XPath implementation should read his manual once again :) Hope that helps. :) ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

Morten Barklund Shockwaved wrote: Mike Boutin wrote: Still wasnt able to get it working. I had to resort to using nodeValue instead. pain in the ass Why is it a workaround? Doesn't the XPath return the XMLNode? You can't just use the regular toString-method of the XMLNode-object - that'll return the wrong encoding. The nodeValue *is* the only proper way to fetch the correct textdata without encoding. If the XPath-method, that you use, is supposed to return the string value of a text element, then using nodeValue is a hack. But if you only use an XPath-method which is supposed to return an XMLNode, then it is *not* a hack, but doing exactly, what you are supposed to do.

Perfect, thanks for the help! Morten Barklund Shockwaved wrote: Mike Boutin wrote: even in this case the result is undefined string = XPath.selectNodes(my_xml, /pathto[1]/xml).nodeValue; I've just gotten the libraries, and it is exactly as I expected. selectNodes returns an Array of XMLNode-objects. Even the notion of /text() is just to get the node, which has no name, as it is a textnode - but it does not mean, that it will return the text. The function will still return an array of XMLNode-objects. So in order to actually get the text, you need to select the corrent index in the array, and then get the nodeValue from the XMLNode. given: var nodes:Array = XPath.selectNodes(my_xml, /pathto[1]/xml/text()); var textnode:XMLNode = XMLNode(nodes[0]); var text:String = textnode.nodeValue; That would be the proper way to do this perfectly and correctly.

Subversion never has a complete 'normal' copy of your files in the repository, since it saves only the changes to the files, and never the full file(except when you first import).

Why? What type of object was the Xpath value before I cast it to a

The kicker is I can send other XPath values I don't cast to strings
first to text fields, textAreas, and they show up fine. So is it
something quirky with V2 components as well?

Doesnt XPath.selectNodes(myxml, pathtocontent/text()); return the text
value as well?
Doug Coning wrote:
Could it be because the Xpath may return either a string or an array
depending on how you structure your query?
I agree that if there was a selectText type method where you pass in an
xpath where you expect only one (or the first) resulting text value
would be great.

That's using Flash's XML object with XPath to grab the node value -
sure
that works, and is good for nodes with CDATA, but overly complex -
wrapping String() around it is easier. I was wondering just about the
XPath implementation and why it doesn't return a native string, thanks
though.

[Flashcoders] Wierd split
Im having a wierd problem with using .split on an array. I create an
array 3 frames before in the same timeline like so:
_root.cat_colors = new Array();
_root.cat_colors[0] = bob,john,betty;
Then 2 frames down the timeline I run a loop like so:
for (i=0; i_root.cat_colors.length; i++) {
trace(String: +_root.cat_colors[i]);
// The string traces properly here ex. bob,jim,john etc...
var tempColor:Array = _root.cat_colors[i].split(,);
trace(Total: +tempColor[i]);
// traces out undefined for the next loop never happens
for (j=0; jtempColor.length; j++) {
trace(Color: +tempColor[j]);
}
}
Anyone know why this doesnt work? is there another way to achieve this?
If i create the array on the same frame as the loop, everything works
like it should.

Re: [Flashcoders] Wierd split
The movie the script is in gets loaded into another movie. I can trace
out _root.cat_color[0] etc... with no problems, even doing so in the for
loop outputs proper values for _root.cat_colors[i]. If i trace out
tempColor.length after the split, it always comes back undefined, thus
the loop after that never happens.
trace(String: +_root.cat_colors[0]);
// traces out bob,jim,john
var tempColor:Array = _root.cat_colors[0].split(,);
trace(Total: +tempColor.length);
// traces out undefined when it should be 3

Subject: [Flashcoders] Scrollpain Overlap Issues
Hello,
I'm running into some problems with the scrollpane component.
Here's
a
quick
breakdown of what's happening:
1. I'm using the v2 scrollPane component to build a menu list
2. I attach movieClips from the library into a container
movieclip,
each
attached clip contains different v2 components
3. When I attach the clip with the scrollPane menu, it works
fine
4. However, if a prior component contains a comboBox component,
the
scrollPane menu loses it's mask
I have uploaded a swf, so you can check it out at:
http://mike.randm.org/flash/scrollpain/
1. To view the menu, click one
2. To view the error, click two then one
Thanks for any help in advance,
Mike
Here is the code I used to build the menu:
//SETUP QUSTIONS SCROLLPANE - NO HORIZONTAL SCROLLING ALLOWED
questions_sp.hScrollPolicy=off;
questions_sp.vScrollPolicy=on;
//SET UP BLANK HOLDER TO BUILD QUESTION LIST IN SCROLLPANE
questions_sp.contentPath = blank; //blank movie clip from
library
var paneContent = questions_sp.content;
//TEMPORARY TEST VARIABLES
qLen = 10;
function setUpQuestionList(){
for (var i =0; iqLen; i++){
var tp = paneContent.attachMovie(menu,
menu + i,
i, {_y: i *20});
//QUESTION LIST

More examples in the Flash 8 help docs. The selectedItem doesn't show it
the icon, though, so I'll leave that as a challenge to you to figure out.

Hi Chris, thanks for the help by the way, i managed to get it working
like so:
myCombobox.addItem(Hello world);
myCombobox.dropdown.setPropertiesAt(0,{backgroundColor:0xCC,
icon:image});
The problem being that the icon image has to be in the library and
have a linkage id. Do you think there is any way to take this same
approach but use a dynamically loaded jpg for the icon?

Hi Mike,
You should be able to create a movieclip class that implements the
CellRenderer api, and then use that within the combobox's list:
var dropdown:List = myCombo.dropdown;
dropdown.cellRenderer = myCustomCellRenderer;
Having said that, I've never done this, but I don't see why it
wouldn't work.

Hi Mike,
It's a Known Feature with Firefox. It's not strictly speaking a bug - the
browser doesn't know how high the document is supposed to be, because
there's no sized content in the document.
Try sticking this in the head
style
body,html
{
margin:0px;
padding:0px;
height:100%;
}

If that doesn't work straight off, you may need to change the document type
- try putting in a valid HTML or XHTML doctype to kick Firefox out of Quirks
mode. (You might not need it - I honestly can't remember).
The above code and a valid XHTML doctype certainly works for me.

Does that really work? I know you said you got it from the help docs
and all, but I always thought the Flash player, when it came to loading
XML, ran single threaded in the sense that all other caluculations had
to stop until the XML was loaded. I ask because with the code you
posted, I tried it on a 2mb XML file and pctLoaded traces NaN, and
my_xml.getBytesLoaded traces 0 the entire time the file is loading.

[Flashcoders] Stop the stream!
Hello everyone, I am using a MediaPlayback component (Media - Player 6-7) from Flash 8 to stream some mp3s. I have a combo box that changes the current mp3 with this code: flashMp3.setMedia(mp3ToLoad, MP3); The problem is everytime I change the file, the old file continues to download. So if I change the song 5 or 6 times the connection gets very slow. Is there any way of stopping the song that is currently streaming first? Thanks!

Subject: [Flashcoders] Strnge FLVplayback problem
Hi List,
I am using the FLVPlayback component and have a really strange problem:
I have a videoloader class (Singleton) that I instansiate, then I throw in
an array of videos and it plays them sequentiallylike this: (FPB is a
reference to the FLVplayback-instance on stage)
public function loadFLVs (aVids : Array) : Void {
// (re)set the video arrays
this.aVids = aVids;
//Load first video
FPB.activeVideoPlayerIndex = 0;
FPB.visibleVideoPlayerIndex = 0;
FPB.contentPath = aVids[0].source;
// start with first Video
FPB.play();
}
And on a buttonpress I can change the array of videos like this:
Button.onPress = function() {
aVideos[0] = {source:videos/1A.flv, id:1, name:11, nCpTime:1.00};
myVid.loadFLVs(aVideos);
}
But now something strange happens...
I have a number of videos for a project named 1A.flv, 1b.flv, etc.
If I start with 1A and try to load 1B on the buttonclick it fails
If I start with 1A and on buttonpress load A TOTALL DIFFERENT flv form A
TOTALLY DIFFERENT PROJECT it works... Lets call it project2.flv
As a hack I tried this in the loadFLV function:
Before I set the content path to the correct video I change it to
project2.flv...
//Load first video
FPB.activeVideoPlayerIndex = 0;
FPB.visibleVideoPlayerIndex = 0;
FPB.contentPath = project2.flv;
FPB.contentPath = aVids[0].source;
And then it works again :S
but its an ugly hack
I`m totally clueless,
Any idea what this can be?
Thanx a lot!
Wouter

Re: [Flashcoders] Straaaaaaaange FLVplayback problem....
Using the netstream is the same idea as using the component, you can
pass in multiple flv's to the same netstream / controls.

Re: [Flashcoders] FileReference and Getting File Path
Is it possible for you to just grab the name after it is selected from
the FileReference object?
var listener:Object = new Object();
listener.onSelect = function(file:FileReference):Void {
trace(file.name);
};

I am using the FileReference Class to upload images. Is there a way to get the
path to the selected file? Ideally, I would like to preview the image before
being uploaded and need the path.
Thanks for any and all replies.

Re: [Flashcoders] FileReference and Getting File Path
Not sure if this will help, but maybe you can copy the image to the
users cache to display it.
// make a working copy of a file on the user's disk
var fileRef = new FileReference();
if (fileRef.browse([Text Files, *.txt]) {
fileRef.copyIntoCache(backup-data.txt);
var newFile = new FileReference();
newFile.open(backup-data.txt);
// operate on new file
// ...
}

I can get the name, however it doesn't provide the path (i.e.
c:\images\image001.jpg)

Re: [Flashcoders] FileReference and Getting File Path
Oops :)
Maybe im just dont undestand the problem because how can you show a
preview of the users image without first uploading it to your server?

If you're working in a web page you can use a hidden file field and
communicate with it via ExternalInterface / getURL and javascript.

Re: [Flashcoders] Sample PHP script for handling XML from Flash
You may also want to look into amfphp and Flash Remoting as it greatly simplifies this approach. http://amfphp.org/ Mike Boutin Jim Robson wrote: Matt: http://php.net/ has tutorials and a comprehensive manual.
